Hungry Like The Wolf

A fantasy shadowrun could be awesome but that'd be a bit of work. I'd say tweak BRP to suit athas or just run 2nd edition.
I'd say out of the options you set forth, 2E seems the closest to what your striving for. Heck, I'd suggest using the skills & powers book for the proficiency system instead of 3e's skill system, personally - but just not S&P for point-building PCs.
Noooo.... I really really want psionics! I've never played Dark Sun, and I've always been told that it's got psionics in it. I've never played a psionic character before, so this was going to be my opportunity for it!
If you want to run a Conan game, I'd be down with a psionics-free Conan game. But if we're in Athas, I'd really like to see the psi stuff I've been led to expect to be there.

Hiya.
Not sure if someone mentioned these on page 2, but...
If you are having fun using BECMI, just use that. It's easy enough to create classes for Dark Sun using BECMI (there are at least two articles I know of that delve into class-creation for BECMI; one is called "Customized Classes" or something like that, from a Dragon mag, and the other one was called "Building the Perfect Class", by Erin D. Smale).
The other game system that I think would work and be a lot of fun to customize for DarkSun would be the d6 system. You can get it free, and it's pretty sweet. It was used for the 'original' Star Wars RPG (developed by WEG, now defunct). You can DL the rules here: http://www.wegfansite.com/forum/ ).
Woot! Thanks, Wik.Right. I forgot about you.
Okay, disregard what i said people. Apparently, psionics have to be in it!
Woot! Thanks, Wik.
